Teams can stash injured players on the 60-day IL during the season and not worry about that player taking a spot on the roster. This roster flexibility disappears in the winter, so teams can’t h...15208Sun, 22 Oct 2023 15:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-catching-dilemma-balancing-defense-and-offense-for-the-minnesota-twins-r15201/Christian Vázquez struggled significantly at the plate throughout much of 2023. His down year came to a head in the postseason, where his lack of a single appearance confirmed that he's undoubtedly the backup to Ryan Jeffers moving forward. On the wrong side of 30 years of age, and with multiple...15201Sun, 22 Oct 2023 12:16:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesotas-postseason-run-points-to-a-bright-future-r15195/There are two ways to look at the Minnesota Twins 2023 postseason run. On one hand, you could mute excitement by choosing to focus on the Twins winning just a single game in the American League Division Series. That hurts even more after splitting on the road in Houston and holding an advantage...15195Sat, 21 Oct 2023 16:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pablo-l%C3%B3pezs-pursuit-of-the-next-level-has-no-offseason-r15202/This year, there weren’t many notable individual accomplishments in the Twins’ postseason run. But undoubtedly, one of the shining achievements was staff ace Pablo López emerging as a true frontline starter on a national stage.  In his two starts, the 27-year-old righty totaled 12 ⅔ innings...15202Sat, 21 Oct 2023 13:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-christian-vazquez-too-expensive-for-the-2024-twins-roster-r15188/One year ago, the Twins wondered what to do about the catcher position. Gary Sanchez had led the team in appearances during the 2022 season but was heading to free agency. Minnesota wanted a veteran player to pair with Ryan Jeffers behind the plate. Early in the offseason, the Twins identified V...15188Sat, 21 Oct 2023 12:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-twins-awards-overunders-and-thad-levine-r15205/15205Fri, 20 Oct 2023 16:44:18 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-defense-decline-fielding-metrics-gold-glove/When it comes to defense in baseball, often the defensive metrics just don't match up to the eye test or general consensus.

Carlos Correa tested the free-agent waters for the second straight season, and Royce Lewis was recovering from his second ACL surgery. Minnesota needed someone to man one of baseball’s most important positions, so the club traded fo...15182Thu, 19 Oct 2023 19:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-are-ready-to-build-on-a-foundation-of-depth-r15193/A season ago, Rocco Baldelli constantly searched for warm bodies to take the field. Trying to stave off a comeback from the Cleveland Guardians, he needed pitching help and players to round out his lineup.

Typically, around five to seven players on the 40-man roster are placed on waivers. Upon being placed o...15190Wed, 18 Oct 2023 19:19:00 +0000
